jen7 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Looking for the right artist to do a nice koi half sleeve in color. Was thinking of going with Garver down in Miami but saving a bundle of money on hotels and flights seems mighty appealing these days. Anyone you would recommend within driving distance of NH?

Graeme Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Chris Garver is in NYC though that doesn't necessarily make the travel that much more affordable. Check out Jeb Riley at Hobo's in Portsmouth, NH, Erik Rieth in Providence, RI, Forrest Cavacco in Plymouth, MA, and I'm sure people can suggest plenty of other good local-ish options because there are a lot of great tattooers in New England.

jen7 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 thanks for all the suggestions! I have a lot of researching to do. Planning for maybe 2017 (getting my back finished next year so the arm is after my wallet recovers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Payne Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Another consideration would have to be Chris Garver's waiting list. Does anyone have any idea how long it might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen7 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I was assuming at least a year.....which is why I am deciding now for 2017. My back piece put me on a 2 year waiting list, which is about my limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen7 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Wow, I spent the day googling and instagramming those guys and am gonna have to head over to Portsmouth and down to Concord to see the sights and check out some portfolios. Thanks a million you guys. Joe Shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
